Grilled Grilled Ham & Cheese

For some reason I wanted some grilled corn too...

Happy Friday! It's been an extremely long day and I'm ready to kick my feet up and put in a Netflix movie. And I might just be in a cruel enough mood to make Andy watch a chick flick with me. Yes, the perks of domestic bliss.

I grew up eating grilled cheese, but never understood why it was called "grilled" cheese. I mean, I only knew of it being cooked in a frying pan - never a grill. Then I saw Nick from Macheesmo do this. And I was instantly inspired to do the same!

Ingredients:

BreadCheddar cheeseSpinachHam slicesSoftened butter

There's not really much to this. And you don't necessarily have to use the ingredients I did - it's just the sandwich I was feeling at the time.

Light a charcoal grill.

Butter one side of two slices of bread. Place one slice on the grill, butter-side down, over moderate heat and top with cheese, spinach, ham, and another slice of cheese. Then top with remaining piece of bread, butter-side up.

Grill for about 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and side is golden brown. Flip over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Slice in half and enjoy!

Seriously, this was awesome. Even better than actual grilled cheese. Don't believe me? Try it out and let me know!

Have a great weekend guys! I'm super pumped because we're getting a new couch! Yeah, you know you're getting old when you can be excited about furniture!
